ENT references in Shat's new book

[cooleddie74]

In my own fan-fic short stories over the years(at least a few set after the Kirk era)one of the auditoriums on the campus of Starfleet Academy in San Francisco is called the James T. Kirk Memorial Hall.

 

[Captain59]

There is a replica of the Kir'Shara in the Vulcan compound in San Francisco, and it's mentioned that Vulcans, even after a century, could not understand how the artifact could be lost, only to be found by a human.

And the flight/pilot training facility on campus is named after Travis Mayweather.

I thought the manequin manufacturing facility was named after Travis.

 

[Skywalker]

Don't tell me, the dining hall is named after Chef.

 

[Captain59]

Now that would be bad! They described a painting from a battle during the Romulan War and mentioned the "old gold" space suits.

Denobulans live long, right? They should have Phlox run up to Kirk and say, "Optimism, young lad!" and then die.

No, you're thinking of the deaf/mute linguistics institute for slackers.

You'll laugh at this...pilot training is held in the Mayweather Building. Spock's science advisor is in Burke Hall, but I don't know who Burke is.

^ John Burke was an Astronomer at the London Royal Academy, centuries before TOS. He apparently mapped areas of space, including Sherman's Planet mentioned in The Trouble With Tribbles.

One of the novels (Federation, I think) places him as a contemporary of Zefram Cochrane... all non-canon with First Contact now though.

It's official, I have no life outside Star Trek!

John Burke, of the Royal Science Academy, mapped the area of space containing Sherman's Planet. (Star Trek: "The Trouble With Tribbles")

Well, I'm done with the book. IIRC, it was alluded to somewehere in the book--probably early on before I started this thread--that the NX-01 is in a museum orbiting Pluto, and not Earth or Mars. Does anyone remember any reference at all about a museum at Pluto?

 

[cooleddie74]

Yeah, Burke was a 21st century British astronomer in TREK.
